Olusegun Bamgbose, Esq., National Coordinator, Concerned
Advocates for Good Governance, CAGG, has revealed how the Governor of Kaduna
State, Mallam Nasir El-Rufai, dragged him (Bamgbose) into the 2033 presidential
race.
Recall that Bamgbose had recently declared his interest to
battle it out with the political bigwigs in the country come 2023.
Explaining how the Kaduna Governor made him join the race,
the senior lawyer said
early this year, he wrote a letter to El-Rufai to the effect
that he has his (Bamgbose) support if he wanted to contest the 2023
presidential elections.
According to him, “El-Rufai never thought it wise, to
acknowledge my letter in anyway.
“Along the line it just suddenly occurred to me, ‘enough of
this support, you are also qualified to contest, go ahead and indicate your
interest’.
“The truth of the matter is that I’ve been nursing the
ambition since 1986. That was how I started and so far so good. I’m therefore
indebted to Governor El-Rufai for refusing to acknowledge my letter.
“I’m equally happy that in the course of time, Governor
EL-RUFAI made it clear that power must shift to the south.
“I’m with all
modesty, a detribilised Nigerian. In 2003, I visibly supported Chief Olusegun
Obasanjo for his second term bid. In 2007, I supported Senator Orji Uzor Kalu.
In 2011, I supported Goodluck Jonathan, in 2015, I supported Mohammadu Buhari,
in 2019, I supported Atiku Abubakar.
“The fact remains that I’m very passionate about one
Nigeria. Nigerians should look forward to a passionate, patriotic and pragmatic
leader come 2023.
“I’m not in the race to enrich myself but to empower the
masses. I believe I’ve what it takes to be the next President of Nigeria.”
